Leading building solutions provider Holcim Philippines, Inc. is excited to
bring Holcim ECOPlanet, its most environment-friendly product, to Davao
to provide partners a sustainable and high-performance building material as they
continue advancing development in Mindanao!
“The launch of ECOPlanet is further proof of our commitment to continue
supporting the sustainable development of Davao and
Mindanao. ECOPlanet provides our partner the best material for building durable
and lasting infrastructure to support population growth and development while
being more respectful of the environment.” Holcim Philippines president and
CEO Horia Adrian said.
ECOPlanet was launched to a number of Holcim Philippines’ ready-mix concrete
and contractor partners in South Mindanao on July 29 at SM Lanang with an
overview of the product and the company’s overall sustainability thrust.
Holcim Philippines also introduced its Balik-Plastic waste management program
wherein partners may turn over plastic bags for cement to the company to be
reused by recycling partners or converted to alternative fuels and raw materials in
making cement through co-processing at its Davao plant.
Launched in July 2021, ECOPlanet is a global range of green cement developed by
international building solutions leader Holcim Group. It was introduced in the
Philippines last November as a general purpose cement with at least 30% lower
carbon footprint than normal cement. Being a blended cement, ECOPlanet is also
made with less virgin raw materials and delivers superior durability and strength
for structural applications.
The availability of ECOPlanet further expands Holcim Philippines’ range of building
solutions in the region. In the company’s several decades of operations in Davao,
the company has proudly supplied cement to a number important of infrastructure that
support progress and uplift people’s lives such as the Davao International Airport,
Davao Coastal Road, Davao Bypass Road, and the Tagum City Flyover.
